Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Without GBAs?

Link each of these 4 GCs (using GBA link cables) to the main GC, and plug each of these 4 GCs into its own small tv. The small TVs act as each player's 'GBA screen' and the main TV is where everyone plays. Finally, plug a WaveBird into each of these 4 GameCubes and you're good to go." The resulting cable mess is a joy to behold.

I didn't realize that you could trick Crystal Chronicles into thinking the GB Player was a GBA.
There's no trickery involved - the GB Player *IS* a GBA. It's just in a casing that attatches to a GC. ;P

No. Each map shows different things. One shows treasure, one shows enemies, and I forget what the other two are (it has been a good month since the last time I got with anyone to play this game).

And yes, I am aware of the gas. The maps aren't used to keep the players together. They're used to foster different goals.
